HFWF OT 6: Tis the season...

[The Gongshow]

What an absolute horse**** game. Terrible calls on both those Eagles TD's

Doesn't help that Pats D can't even stop a beachball. Their D is garbage.

 

[Sarcastic]

Take that New England!

What? Both calls were legitimate tds. The Ertz TD is as old as time I’ve been watching football since the early 90s. The ball broke the plane.

Also Foles is now the new GOAT! I finally got to watch one of my teams win a god damn championship!

 

[Disclose]

i hate all this.
the game was fun, i feel the calls were good.
i really like football, but i can confirm i never ever wanted this moment to happen.

I spent all day watching Suits lol.

On another note, I'm at the point where it's time to apply for university. At this point I'm leaning towards economics (economics and finance jobs are interchangeable when applying, as long as you have one degree you're good), probably eventually planning on getting a masters in it and also eventually studying to do the CFA tests.

Literally just got an 55' LG 4K Smart TV last week. Best Buy had it on sale for like $650. Its one of the 2017 models. Its beautiful. You don't need to drop three grand on a tv

Or do you? I don't know how good your TV is if you're actually questioning the two Eagles TDs.

 

[Virtanen18]

I hate the entire smart TV gimmick. Whenever I've had a TV I've always had a computer plugged into it and just run everything via that.

Meh. It's not really a gimmick. I thought it was when it first started cause everything was pretty much slow and unusable, but now they can be pretty terrific for apps and casting.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Smart TVs are awesome. 3D TVs were the true gimmick.

Can confirm. I have a 3D TV. It's dope when you watch the sample videos that come with the TV, but I don't think I've used any 3D feature since then. Don't even know if there is any 3D features. I remember soccer was coming on in 3D for a bit but never hear about it now.

See, the problem for me is that I've been doing all that and more for the better part of 20 years now via a computer. So nothing the TV can do is impressive or useful in my eyes.

It's not really that the Smart TV is bad, more that it offers nothing that people shouldn't have already been doing in a superior way already.




But 3D TVs are indeed a complete joke.

 

[BonMorrison]

There's a video going viral of a Philly fan eating horse poop in excitement. Why are Philly sports fans like this?

How is it something people should be doing though? Connecting my computer to my TV is not really an option.

 

[Disclose]

its a solution for many people.
i dont even have any sort of tv reception. i figured how to watch what i want, live if i need through websites.
so i dont even need a 4k or even HD tv or monitor, since the streams rarely support it.

do i wish to own anything mentioned before? yes i really do. but i just simply dont "need" it.

You put a computer under the TV like you would any other box. An old Mac Mini is what I normally use. It's not like you'd plug your everyday laptop you move about in or anything.

Wait, I've never heard of this Mac Mini before. I'm intrigued. Pricy as faurk though. Might as well just buy a smart TV with that price

But there is no price. You just use some random old machine you've got sitting about. If you don't have one then you can usually pick up a headless laptop for very little and that'll work more than fine.

But why go to that if you can just buy (obviously if you can afford it) a good smart TV and not worry about any other connections or mirroring or anything? It’s convenient. Everything is in one place.

 

[Kimi]

'Cos the TV is limited and the computer isn't.

The set up is a less than trivial task, and the convenience is a non-factor as you only ever set it up once anyway. If you can plug in the power plug for your new TV, then I'm 100% sure you can repeat the task again for the computer.

Dow down 1200 points. Jeeeeez.

I haven't listened to Long Live A$AP in so long and god bless you Spotify for bringing it back in my life

Well, the NBA trade deadline was pretty wild.

I was doing some reading around and it blows my mind that the suggested daily protein intake for males is only 56g of protein (obviously this is taking in someone who doesn't do training) but that still felt really low reading that study.
